Oops, I had changed the file but forgot to save it.
Next question: do I just change your "2468" in "includes/usercp_register.php" to get it to work or is there more to it

I would recommend changing "2468" to whatever you want but you don't HAVE to.
After that, you need to put the VIP code on your site somewhere and make sure that the references to where the user can get the VIP are pointing the user to the correct page.
Marshal, could I pay you for assisting me in backing up my entire forum, and then trying to update it to the latest phpBB version without losing my mods? I'm sure it would take some time, and I am willing to pay.
great thread. i'm going to go about this my own way with a bit of hackery and custom scripting with bans from custom tables i setup.
however - i think the biggest problem lays in the visual confirmation coding. Gtk and GDlib can both output some crazy images to constru things and i believe the phpbb team could enhance just that feature and put a stop to a lot of this madness.
i just started carpet banning common usernames, spammer 'domains' and anytime 2 guests (banned users) share the same IP it gets blocked.

anyone know a mod whereby if the registered user posts a message with a banned word they immediately deleted.
lets face it, thats what we should be doing. We can put a warning note up front then if a user types any of the dr*g or po*n favorite expressions they are;
instantly banned.. no messing about simply deleted and banned from rejoining.
As far as link-back spam goes (on the memberlist), can't we just add "nofollow" to the homepage links in the memberlist? That should at least make it worthless for the bots to bother.

anyone seen this mod ????

Instant ban is bad.. I advise you not to use any mod that 'instant bans' a user.

i dont know why you think that. all dr*g postings are by machines and they also deposit a website that then gets spidered. this is extremely harmful to you site !!!
eevn worse are th p*rn sellers that then deposit dreadful p*rn sites and allow these to get spidered from your pages. the last thing on earth you want.
pls explain your point of views
any other readers if u know of a mod to instantly delete members that post particular words pls let me know on this thread......

Because instant delete of users may end up deleting a legitimate user... perhaps someone complaining of porn or someone posting something legitimate that the mod thinks is banned when it really shouldn't be.

exactly...
I've installed mods that did that on some boards and in the end...
IP's were spoofed and proxies used..
Innocent users were banned so I had to remove those mods..
what do you recommend then for automatic posters that allways leave p*rn URL's as their websites ?
its not the messages that are a problem it is the posting of websites with illegal content. to which u then link..
